RENEWABLE ENERGY SECTOR GUJARAT SCENARIO: BIO ENERGYVarious Bio energy projects have been implemented in Gujarat. Few of them are enlisted below:0.95 MW biogas based power project at Sayaji Industries, Kathwada, 2009-10• Sayaji Industries, Kathwada is dealing with maize starch products. As a result of maize corn milling,grinding and processing, about 14000 nm3 biogas is generated. Earlier biogas was being used in thecoal fired boilers. Under the MNRE programme of energy recovery from industrial & commercialwastes, the biogas based power project was taken up. The project commissioned in April'2009 andhas been running successfully at about 80% PLF since commissioning.12000 nm3 biogas per day (1 MWeq.) maize starch industry liquid waste basedbiomethanation plant by Gujarat Ambuja Exports Ltd., at Dalpur , Dist: S.K., 2009-10• 12000nm3 /day capacity biomethanation plant is completed & commissioned in December 2009under MNRE waste-to-energy (WTE) scheme. Plant has been running successfully since itscommissioning date. Produced biogas gas is used in 100% biogas engines in CPP0.833 MWeq.(10000 nm3/day) capacity maize starch industry liquid waste basedbiomethanation plant at Sayaji Industries Ltd., Kathwada, 2010-11• Sayaji Industries, Kathwada increased its maize grinding capacity from 325 MT/day to 550 MT/day, theeffluent also increased with higher COD value of about 16000 to 20000 KGs COD. One 10000 nm3/daycapacity biomethanation plant has been installed & commissioned December 2011.The same isworking with more than 80% efficiency. The produced biogas is used in its CPPSource: Gujarat Energy Development Agency
